  1. Hiya everyone

    A friend very kindly offered me the use of his bodyshop during the Christmas period. This desperately needed after I had a little miss hap with a new clay bar which left the paint work on my R26R looking very sorry for itself as you can see below

    I took taping the car to the extreme as I didn't want to mess around and used as much from the bodyshop as I could.

    I honestly don't know what went so wrong, ive clayed a lot of cars but never experienced anything like it, I used the same method I always do but with a completely different clay, it was brand new
